Entropy generation in an inclined porous channel with suction/injection

Abstract

The present work is concerned with an analytical study of entropy generation in viscous, incompressible fluid in an inclined channel with porous walls. The solution of the governing equations were obtained in closed form. The expression for the irreversibility ratio was also obtained and the results were presented graphically and extensively discussed for different values of the dimensionless parameters. The result indicates that wall inclination enhance entropy generation.
